HD-ZIP IV genes are essential for embryo initial cell polarization in the radial axis initiation in Arabidopsis

This study identifies HD-ZIP IV genes as essential for radial axis formation in Arabidopsis by regulating apical cell polarization and division orientation.

Comprehensive and quantitative analysis of intracellular structure polarization at the apical-basal axis in elongating Arabidopsis zygotes

The paper quantitatively analyzes intracellular structure polarization along the apical-basal axis in Arabidopsis zygotes and links compartmentalization to asymmetric cell division positioning.

Arabidopsis thaliana subclass I ACTIN DEPOLYMERIZING FACTORs regulate nuclear organization and gene expression

This study shows subclass I ADFs in Arabidopsis regulate nuclear organization and gene expression, affecting chromocenter size and NLR gene expression.

Cell polarity linked to gravity sensing is generated by protein translocation from statoliths to the plasma membrane.

This study identifies LAZY1-LIKE proteins as gravity sensors in plant statocytes, showing their polar localization based on gravity direction.

The Boundary-Expressed EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTOR-LIKE2 Gene Encoding a Signaling Peptide Promotes Cotyledon Growth during Arabidopsis thaliana Embryogenesis

This study shows that EPFL2, a signaling peptide gene, promotes cotyledon growth in Arabidopsis embryos by organizing auxin response peaks at cotyledon primordia boundaries.

The SYP123-VAMP727 SNARE complex is involved in the delivery of inner cell wall components to the root hair shank in Arabidopsis

The paper identifies SYP123 and VAMP727 as components of a SNARE complex involved in delivering inner cell wall materials to the root hair shank in Arabidopsis.

The Phosphorylation Status of NPH3 Affects Photosensory Adaptation During the Phototropic Response

The study shows that phosphorylation of NPH3 affects its subcellular localization and the photosensory adaptation of phot1 signaling during phototropism.
